The regulations on building apartments are undergoing an overhaul to enhance construction efficiency and reduce costs by approximately €100,000 per unit. Current restrictions limit the number of one-bedroom and studio apartments in developments, as well as their minimum size requirements. The proposed changes aim to lift these restrictions, allowing more one-bedroom apartments, reducing the minimum size for studios, and removing the cap on studio percentage in developments. Additional guidelines will standardize dual-aspect unit requirements and eliminate limitations on units per lift, thereby facilitating increased housing development.
The overhaul of the regulations for building apartments aims to boost construction and cut the cost of building by as much as €100,000 a unit.
Restrictions will be lifted on the number of one-bedroom apartments allowed in any development and on apartment size, which is expected to promote affordable housing.
The minimum size for studio apartments will be reduced from 37 square metres to 32 square metres, allowing for more flexibility in apartment design.
New guidelines will remove restrictions on the number of units per lift and stair per floor, promoting denser developments and potentially more efficient use of space.
